The Shelby County Historical Museum will host Bells Across America on Thursday, September 17, beginning at 3:30 PM in recognition of Constitution Day. At 4:00 PM, participants will join communities across the nation in ringing bells for one minute, commemorating the moment church bells in Philadelphia announced the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.

This annual observance honors one of America’s most important founding documents and serves as a reminder of the liberties, freedoms, and rights it protects. The tradition is promoted nationwide by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) as part of Constitution Week.

Everyone is invited to attend this meaningful celebration of American history.
